The next morning the students were gathered in the great hall lined up according to their squads in Alphabetical order, Soldiers were positioned at the door to help late comers find their squad's spot after dishing out their punishment.Coincidentally, behind Brandon's Squad was Elvis' squad, this was the first time they had seen him since their last encounter while still in their 1st year, he looked different, there was no expression of hatred or disdain when his eyes met Brandon's, infact, there seemed to be some semblance of respect or administration in Elvis's eyes and his usual band of noble friends seems to avoid him though, they weren't in the same squad."Good morning Students, welcome to this mornings formation, today you are going to be debriefed on a lot of the changes that will be happening in your schedule and bear in mind that none of the things said to you in this room should for any reason be spoken to the 1st years, you have been warned" A soldier announced before ste

The 2nd years were gathered into a hall similar to the one where they had their 1st year trails which brought back bitter memories for some of the students. The only difference being the size and content. The current room wasn't as large as the one they had their trails in and rather than obstacle courses, there were huge mechanical spheres with a capacity to contain 10 people equally spaced across the room. Unlike the previous new events, there was no formal introduction, explanation or even words of advice which made a majority of the students very anxious.Each squad was assigned to a soldier who was to oversee the simulation. Stepping into the the orb, Brandon and the tip didn't know what to expect either but maintained their composure as they had noticed Col James' watchful gaze on them throughout the week."Simulations will begin in 5 minutes or less, be prepared" a voice said in each orb."At least we have time to.." Dom's words were cut short as the orb somewhat warped and t

Before long, it was time for their first expedition and they were all gathered in the teleportation room once again, a lot of eyes were fixed on Brandon's squad aa they recalled what happened the last time they went on an expedition."Looks like everyone is worried for us" Natalie said."Yeah, I can feel a lot of anxiety and a bit of pleasure" Angelo stated, the last part coming out as a murmur."Do you think Briam will have this teleporter botched as well?" Isabella asked."No, he wouldn't risk it besides, Miss Silver and Serg Raid made sure the teleporters were serviced two hours before now" Brandon replied."I have a bad feeling about this" Bruce said unnervingly."Could just be PTSD" Isabella said walking to stand beside him."Maybe" Bruce muttered."I will try not to fall behind" Eliot said not wanting to be left out."Let's go, it's almost our turn" Alec announced.Like a fly to exposed blood, Col James stood in front of their teleporter waiting for them."Am I the only one gett

The squad landed on the ground with a splash of mud, they had been teleported to a swampy area."Well, at least we are in the right area", Bruce said with a sigh as he tested the thickness of the murky waters with his foot."But a swamp, they could have literally chosen any other planet" Natalie groaned."I didn't expect to hear a complaint from you" Alec said."Yeah yeah, I know, the girl with a military background is supposed to be unmoved by such terrain, I just don't like it okay " Natalie replied with a frown."Alright, let's find some beasts to slay, we are probably already far behind" Angelo said and truly when they viewed the score board, they found thier name at rock bottom with zero points to thier squad."One would think we would at least get a little boost to compensate for the special mission" Eliot said."Welcome to our world" Alec said with a chuckle.The other students were all surprised to receive successive pings on their watches and thier surprise further grew as th
